Hi Jens,

I had to go back to Fedora 24 on one of my computers and tried to
install shotwell from the git-Repository.

I've used this list - there are some duplicates (glib2-devel, ...) -,
but there was one missing package: itstool. After installing that one, I
was able to build shotwell 0.24.2, but not the current version - this
one uses gexiv2 0.10.4, which isn't provided for Fedora 24.
